Linear Regression Model
Model equation:
Yi = α + β × Xi + εi
Top border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi + 2 × s)
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi – 2 × s)
where:
i - observation number
Yi - natural logarithm of PYPL price
Xi - time index, 1 day interval
σ - standard deviation of εi
a - estimator of α
b - estimator of β
s - estimator of σ
Exp() - calculates the exponent of e

Start date: August 9, 2023
End date: February 25, 2025
a = 3.0302
b = 0.0008
s = 0.0825
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0008) – 1
= 32.92%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0825) – 1
= 39.11%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y844)
= Exp(a + b × X844 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,225 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0302 + 0.0008 × 1,225 + 2 × 0.0825)
= Exp(4.1503)
= $63.45
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y844)
= Exp(a + b × X844 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,225 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.0302 + 0.0008 × 1,225 – 2 × 0.0825)
= Exp(3.8202)
= $45.61
